Wigen Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Quote Watch along as we look ahead at some of the most interesting games coming in 2023, including the reveal of a few never-before-seen games and a spotlight on the six most-wanted games of 2023, as selected by the staff of PC Gamer. Among the strategy games there is also Jagged Alliance 3. I wonder if there will be a gameplay. https://store.steampowered.com/sale/pcgamingshow2023preview 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrix Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Nice to see them mentioning both JA3 and Song of Conquest (a very Heroes of Might and Magic 2 & 3 -ish game, but with it's own idea). And as usual, thanks @Wigen for being such a great source of information! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solaris_Wave Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 That was a good video. He mentioned the clothing and equipment not showing up on the 3D model, which has been talked about in other forum threads. The developers might change that but that would mean for a lot of model combinations. One thing I am not keen on is the blood cloud whenever anybody gets hit. It is way too exaggerated and cartoony. I think that should be toned down a lot. The blood that lands on the ground is okay though. Other than that, the game looks excellent with nice effects, smoke, dust and what appears to be dynamic environmental damage. It looks like the gameplay isn't too zoomed in either (an initial concern I had) as longer ranged gameplay is important if you really want to differentiate battle rifles, assault rifles and bolt-action rifles to sub-machine guns. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wigen Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) I forgot to add that the game show starts on November 17, but I set up the topic earlier so that it would not miss that such an event was taking place.

Yes indeed, am still hoping that they will make changes on the appearances and that we will be able to wear different kind of helmets, vests, backpacks etc that will also appear on our characters. They should also think & look again about some mercs outfits, like some are either nothing to do with battlefield look or are wearing strange clothes that doesn't suit into the hot tropical climate, yes i said it 100 times already but again having Ivan with a WW2 Soviet uniform with his ushanka doesnt fit in at all. You could keep his pic with his Ushanka just on his profile pic (and yes the profile pics in game should be lively so we can see their emotions on their face with some mimics and when they die there should come a skull pic just like in the original JA2.) God damn we are in hot tropical Africa so please try to suit their looks more to the environment and weather, isn't rocket science. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solaris_Wave Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 It reminds me of Rambo II with the Russian soldiers wearing an inappropriate choice of camo and the ushanka for their stay in Vietnam! I expect the developers are trying to make each merc look distinct in terms of both character and ease of identification. That said, I did comment elsewhere about Smiley's appearance. He didn't look like he was prepared for combat and instead looked as if he had just stepped out of a nightclub in Thailand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solaris_Wave Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 There are lots of games on that page that I am interested in, as well as JA3. It doesn't say how long the show goes on for, so I am wondering how much coverage each game will get? There are many titles due to be previewed, judging by that page. I wonder how much coverage JA3 will get itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoboNocturno Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 If the total show goes for 80 - 90 mins which means they will show each game around 5 to 10 mins max. Waiting for more footage and info about JA3. The rest of the games doesnt interest me at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wigen Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 Unfortunately there was no Jagged Alliance 3 though it was on the list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solaris_Wave Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Due to being busy I completely forgot about the preview until after it had finished, even though I was thinking about it beforehand. However, I will check out the saved video on YouTube. For some reason though, I had a feeling that JA3 would get overlooked. Now, that might be because there was nothing to actually report, because the developers are more busy actually making the game than having something new to present. Or, it could be that it was overlooked due to the amount of games that were to be previewed, judging by the list shown, and as always, the larger profile games like Company Of Heroes get the most airtime.

LoboNocturno Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Too bad though they didn't shown anything about JA3, at least few footages from gameplay but anyway hopefully they are working very hard on it to satisfy us to the fullest. Company Of Heroes ? Is a larger profile game eeeh ? Never ever heard of it in my whole life. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
